Thanks, everyone :)
You've taught me something today.
(The nuns who taught me in school didn't have them.)

They do. Most nuns that I've seen have a plain gold ring on their third finger, left hand. Of course, that might only be for the order of nuns they have in my area.

It's well known that many nuns, in fact, do wear wedding rings. They've done so since medieval times. But not all orders wear them.

They all get them, it just depends on if they want to wear them or not. I had a principle that was a nun, and I can't remember her wearing hers. A little Irish nun beside me in mass one day wore hers. I know several priests who do as well.

Nuns are not "brides of Christ". Christ will be returning to claim His Bride (singular), which is His church - not the (insert ANY denomination here) church, but the body of all true believers.

the only way nuns are a bride of christ is if they accept Jesus into their heart

If nuns are brides of christ then I think that Jesus is guilty of biggamy on a grand scale

They do actually - real nuns anyway. The one that appear in your "special films" are not real nuns.

Actually, they do. A lot of nuns do have wedding rings. I don't know for certain if all of them do, but I know a lot do.

Some of them do:

Some orders don't because their orders predate the time when common people gave and recieved rings at marriage
Some orsers don't because it runs against their vows to own nothing or live in poverty.

I am under the impression that they do have wedding rings.
